Seventy two teams competed in the SAPSASA 2023 Mountain Biking competition last Thursday at Craigburn Farm. Coromandel Valley Primary School entered three year 5 and 6 teams.

My year 6 team was made up of Peter, Asher and I.  The others representing CVPS were Darcy, Miles, Joseph & Jake

We arrived at 8.15 in the morning. We were given our transmitters for the race which were conected to our bikes and timed each lap. We then headed off as a group for a pratice lap so we could warm up and understand the course in preparation for the race. We had two hours of riding ahead of us. The course was a mix of uphill and down hills, on average my team took eleven minutes to complete each lap, we had to do as many laps as we could in the time limit. My team finished the race in a impressive seventh place, and CVPS team all finished in the top thirty.  Well done! 

A big thank you to all the parents who came along and supported us.
